Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia with 30 years of experience in the field of social work, human services, and counseling. I received my Master of Social Work degree from Hunter College School of Social Work, NYC and my Ph.D. in Human Services, with a specialization in community and social programs from Capella University, Minnesota. Additionally, I am a Certified Anger Management Specialist (CAMS-II).

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach involves “meeting the person where they are.” I am committed to helping clients understand their life challenges and assisting them in working towards reducing or resolving the internal or external challenges. I believe that treatment is successful when a client has an active role in developing his or her treatment goals.

What you can expect from me

I provide services using a holistic approach throughout the entire treatment process. All treatment modalities are tailored to address the mind, body, and spirit. My integrative treatment philosophy takes into account the client’s biological, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and social needs.
